| Abstract | The inconsistency in research investigations of the process of white flight is especially evident when social scientists become actors in the legal drama surrounding the desegregation of public schools. Social science "experts" for the contending litigants often present contradictory evidence. The resultant ambiguity allows judges and administrators to dismiss the utility of social science and rely on their own intuition of the social process. It is suggested that many of the empirical ambiguities concerning the causes and magnitude of white flight stem from the narrow policy focus of most recent research. By failing to place the process of white flight in a general theory of urban demographic change, researchers become susceptible to conclusions that encourage a simplistic misidentification of a complex set of behaviors. Extensive reliance on aggregate measures of net change has increased the likelihood of misidentification. The advantages and shortcomings of several methods that permit a richer analysis of trends and determinants of deviations from trends are illustrated by utilizing longitudinal and cross sectional data from American cities. A policy research agenda is suggested, in the hope that a broader perspective will be adopted in future studies of the redistribution of metropolitan population, especially with regard to the role played by desegregation actions.
